Robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN) is the standard of care for small, localized kidney tumors. This surgery is conducted within a short hospital stay and can even be performed as outpatient surgery in selected patients. In order to allow early...
BACKGROUND: Although partial nephrectomy has become the gold standard for T1 renal tumors whenever technically feasible, simple enucleation has shown superior results. To the best of our knowledge, no randomized controlled trials comparing these two ...
RAPN can be carried out via a transperitoneal or retroperitoneal approach. The choice between the two approaches is open to debate and usually based on surgeon preference. The perioperative outcomes of transperitoneal robot-assisted partial nephrecto...
To evaluate the outcomes of robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN) for solid and cystic renal tumors. We systematically searched the Cochrane Library, PubMed, EMBASE, and Scopus databases up to March 2023. Review Manager 5.4 performed a pooled ana...

OBJECTIVES: To investigate the predictive factors for pentafecta achievement of robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN) for intermediate highly complex renal tumors (RENAL score ≥ 7).
To compare the safety and effectiveness of robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN) laparoscopic partial nephrectomy (LPN) in the treatment of central renal angiomyolipomas (AMLs). We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 103 patients who...
The use of robots in donor nephrectomy has increased in recent years. However, whether robot-assisted methods have better outcomes than traditional laparoscopic methods and how surgical experience influences these outcomes remains unclear. This meta-...
